Probably more like no one wants him so he doesn't want to give up any money. Him wanting to play for Miami and them wanting him are two different things. Last I read Riley wanted to go into camp with what he had and leave a couple spots open for free agents to make the team. You'd think someone like Darko would be ahead of Raja on their list.

Yea, that's the more likely scenario. Still, he better not bitch and moan about playing time if he doesn't accept a buyout.

No he better accept his role at the end of the bench or retire. I doubt that would happen. They'd probably have to make him stay home since they can't amnesty him now. I do think he could help someone still.

Earlier today Utah Jazz forward Derrick Favors (with the help of Matt Sanchez @_MattSanchez) "took over" the Utah Jazz Official Twitter account and had an extended Question and Answer session with fans. Lucky Jazz fans got some classic "That's so Derrick..." type of answers. Derrick talked about what he sees for the Jazz future; where he thinks he can be as a player in a few seasons; the differences between New Jersey and Utah; the Olympics; movies and music; his pre-game ritual of eating at Subway; his 39" vertical jump; and if he likes chocolate milk or not.
All in all it was a fun morning and Billy Lea (@BillyLea) uploaded the full transcript here. Great work guys.
And remember . . .

That blows! Can only give him 8 millions a year. Portland stuck it to us again with that damn contract it looks like. Wonder how Big Al feels about them not having extention talks with him? He's worth twice that based on the contracts given out this summer. Other than Deron was there anyone better out there?

By signing Millsap to an extension or retaining
him as a high-priced free agent next summer, Utah could set itself up for
another Kirilenko-like scenario: paying star-player money to an athlete who
regularly comes off the bench. In a proactive effort that represents the Jazz's
desire to keep Millsap but retain future financial flexibility, the Jazz have
already begun examining which teams could afford to pay Millsap the $10 million
to $14 million average salary he's expected to seek if he becomes a free
agent.

It better be someone with a hell of a point guard to give up is all I can say!

Carroll plays the 4? I could see Marvin there before Carroll. Carroll and Evans look to be energy guys at the end of the bench I'd think unless injuries or trades change things. Hopefully the new GM moves Jefferson ASAP!
